Considering swaping the FC for a...

CORVETTE. I'm thinking about giving my brother the 7 and buying a 94 vette. What do you guys think? How dumb do you think it would be to move from my TII to a vette. The reason I want to do this is because I work at a corvete speed shop and I would have a major hookup. Advice por favor. I'd really like to hear arguments for both sides.

just make sure your brother doesnt break it and make sure he knows how to treat her if you do. I know someone who sold his S5 N/A to his lil bro when he got a T2 and the little bitch wrecked it

I say go for it. The C4 vettes are not C5s, tho, so don't expect them to be. C4 Vettes are still fast and still handle well, but aren't very reliable, as far as boingers go. Just make sure your bro knows how to treat your old car, damnit! And with your hookups, you could make your car handle really well, and be SICK fast. Remember, you'll have 5.7 litres to play with - that's a LOT of cubes!

I know what the c4 is capable of, my dad has a 96 which I have been driving since my motor has been down. That car hasn't ever broken down before so i consider it extremely relieble. The vette is an amazing machine, and as far as c5's go...just remember, i got the hookup

I say go for it if you can. The Vette, even C4 is still in a totally different class, as far as performance goes. And those things can be ungodly fast, like the guy who has a 1400 hp TT C4 daily driver.

well, it would be nice to have a newer car.....

BUT i am assuming since you have the money for that car, wouldnt you have enough for a FD???

Also, I worked part time at a PORSCHE dealership and it made me want a Porsche 944 and now that I dont work there at the moment since its not summer Im glad I didnt get one.

its your money and your call though.

Yeah Id rather have a C4 than an FD too. I don't like the FD that much, it looks nice, but thats about all I care for on them.
